Foxie has always loved admiring her face(s) in the mirror.

*chortle* So cute!
Do Foxie’s hand motions mean anything in particular?
Oh my Gosh! Here I am again doing the head shake and head bob right along with Foxie!! She gets me every time. Can’t resist that sweet face!
I agree with you Linda, Foxie does have a sweet face. It was nice to see Foxie’s droopy lip, even for just a second. I love the way Foxie fixates on faces, whether those of her caregivers, herself in a mirror, or her troll babies. Foxie’s very special!
Too funny, Linda! I was too…LOL. She is so beautiful to watch. I love her facial expressions.
Me too Theresea and Linda! Sweet Foxie.
this is so lovely , foxie puts me in mind of a chimp we see at twycross zoo here in england shes called tojo her description says she is a very vain chimp who likes preening herself in the mirror lol i always take my hand mirror ( she also likes her reflection in sunglasses too ) she will bring over her bread tray to sit on so she can see better and will check out her eyes nose teeth and lips tidy her hair and try to remove her freckles , she will do a little pirouette when shes finished and go and sit back down with her own mirror ( a cd she keeps in her chimp pocket lol )
I can watch this all day. She’s amazing….and what beautiful teeth!!!
That Foxie is wonderful!! I was wondering if she was expecting the Foxie in the mirror to toss her troll back to her:) Marie, I love your description of Tojo. And yes, I too am doing the head bob!
